Other commenters chimed in, confirming the legitimacy of the cadet's experience:

“Its a Cadet Command wide thing, pretty much every battalion in Cadet Command has had to, or will have to do it. GEN Combs has picked it up as a CC initiative.”

“This is sadly legit. Did it at my school this semester, along with something called ”Take Back the Night,“ both of which made me uncomfortable just being a man and being there, let alone in uniform. This is supposed to be Cadet Command's directive, that ROTC is to be involved in sexual harassment prevention on campus as part of SHARP stuff, but really none of these events are relevant or even well thought out. The ”speeches" people give are either geared towards women or poorly constructed, and we are all sitting in uniform (men and women, both) listening and wondering how it is at all relevant.

I'm all for equality, but it is really poorly thought out to have us involved in this."

Another commenter posted a link to Temple University Army ROTC's Facebook page, which contained photos of an event in which cadets wore high heels in support of raising sexual assault awareness:
